Hi/Lo: Snake Charmer

The Christian Louboutin Python Ruffle Pump is a statement shoe if I ever saw one. And while you might think the ankle-breaking 5" heel is extreme (even if the red peekaboo is lovely), you might want to break out the smelling salts before you take on the $3000 price tag.

Come a little back down to earth with these wildly charming Rush Flat from Juicy Couture, which offers an uncanny twin to the Louboutin look without the worry of breaking your back or your wallet.

Runway to Reality: That Designer Twist

Every girl can appreciate a dress which drips with chic sensibility like the Doo. Ri. frock pictured above. The silhouette is stylishly slender, with a twist at its core to create the curves you crave and conceal your less desirable topographies, and the thick straps will do well to balance broad shoulders.

And you can get this slim and savvy look for an equally proportional price. Forget the decade-long lay away most likely required on the Doo. Ri. Velvet Tees offers their Helia Dress in Shade at the sensationally lower price of $174.
